Wherever you are, I hope you are safe and haven’t been affected by - among other things - the LPG crisis. It looks like the crisis is easing up, but there is another crisis that could happen directly as a result of the US-Israel-Iran war, and that could damage the very infrastructure your internet relies on!

The US President Trump and his cronies think they can bully India, while the whole world knows that the Israeli PM “Bibi” is the REAL boss in the US of A. And they don’t have any economic advantages they can give India.

I want to make it clear that I use my platforms to also deliver messages on key social causes, some of which big content creation houses are too afraid to speak up about.

Tech has always been political, and now days there is hardly any State visit without a tech related deal being signed “to advance bilateral relations” between two countries. And such was the case this week, where PM Modi announced that UPI will work in Israel. That is, if you really want to send money to Israel.

I want to make it clear that I use my platforms to also deliver messages on key social causes, some of which big content creation houses are too afraid to speak up about.
